Default trunk measurement

Would one of you please help me out?

I am consider getting a GS. 450H would be my first choice. Problem is sometimes I need to carry my dad's wheel chair in the trunk. Would one of you 450H owners meassure how many inches the width of the trunk is for me, please? The distance from back of the back seat to the rear opening of the trunk. Thanks.

I gonna go out on the limb and say that it's not gonna fit def. if you get the 2007 450h but you might be able to slide it in with the 2008 and up. what you should do is take a trip to a dealership you do not plan to buy at and just ask to test drive a newer one and bring the wheel chair along. its not like your suppose to buy on the first day!

agree with bigblack06, foldable wheel chair won't fit. i fitted my mom's mom wheelchair in my RX450h, and it just fits. with GS450h trunk smaller, no way.

A trip to Sam's Club is trouble for me!! The bank seat has become my trunk. If you have IKEA in mind, forget about bringing the car!

Thank you, everyone.
The trunk width from behind the back of the back seat to rear plastic trim piece of an 07 is about 23. 5 inches. There are some compact, foldable wheelchairs that are built for traveling purposes that might fit. I am searching for one. In the mean time I can use my MDX. It's just a bit harder for my dad to get in and out from an SUV. Thanks, guys.
